Description:

The state-owned Yixing Factory No. 1, also known as Jiangsu Yixing Zisha Craft Factory, was established in 1955 under the guidance of the Chinese government, bringing together the "Seven Zisha Masters" to form this legendary institution. It operated as a state-owned enterprise until its privatization in 1997. During its 40+ years of operation, Factory No. 1 nurtured a generation of Zisha masters whose creations became benchmarks of excellence in the field.

This teapot design masterfully blends the natural elements of melons and water chestnut flowers, featuring smooth lines and intricate textures. Its overall form exudes simplicity and elegance, showcasing the essence of traditional teapot craftsmanship.

As a vintage Zisha masterpiece, this teapot is made from rare old purple clay and embodies the unique artistry of its historical era. Its scarcity and irreplaceable craftsmanship make it a highly valuable piece for collectors and Zisha enthusiasts alike.
